Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lape...@henki.fr> added the comment:
I fell like it's a bit weird to have a new function just for ignoring case,
will a new function be required for every possible normalization like removing
accents. One possible make the API handle those use cases would be to have a
keyword-argument for this:
>>> difflib.get_close_matches('apple', ['APPLE'], normalization=str.lower)
['APPLE']
Then it could work with other normalization too without requiring a new
function every time:
>>> difflib.get_close_matches('Remi', ['Rémi'], normalization=remove_a ccents)
['Rémi']
